One of only two BSc Microbiology programs in New Zealand, Massey's degree benefits from drawing on Massey expertise in a broad range of microbiology sub-disciplines. As a result we offer an exceptionally broad program with a solid base and lots of scope for specialisation.

We love both our teaching and our research.  Our research feeds  into our teaching - what you'll learn will always be up-to-date.  We also constantly improve how we deliver our material  and how we assess our students' progress in the most meaningful way. 

Every one of our courses includes a substantial laboratory component, teaching you core and specialist microbiology techniques. Many courses have project-based lab exercises, where you learn how to apply these techniques to solve a practical problem.

Below is a graphic overview of Massey's BSc Microbiology (as offered in 2019). For details on degree regulations, please see the BSc Microbiology pages at Massey's www site. These also include links to information regarding the individual courses that form part of the degree.
